During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company performed a detailed review of its store portfolio and identified stores in the U.S. and Canada that will be closed within the next three years at the end of their lease terms. This review also identified other stores in which the Company is considering alternatives such as seeking lower rent or a shorter term. In connection with the review of the store portfolio, the Company recorded $14.6 million of impairment charges in the quarter ended September 30, 2018 within the U.S. and Canada segment, of which $9.5 million related to its property, plant and equipment for certain underperforming stores and $5.1 million related to other store closing costs, presented as long-lived asset impairments in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded $3.9 million in long-lived asset impairment charges related to certain underperforming stores and the impact of Hurricane Maria on the Company’s stores located in Puerto Rico. Underperforming stores were generally defined as those with historical and expected future losses or stores that management intends on closing in the near term.

The impairment test was performed at the individual store level as this is the lowest level which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the undiscounted estimated cash flows were less than the carrying value of the asset group, an impairment charge was calculated by subtracting the estimated fair value of property and equipment from its carrying value. Fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow method (income approach) utilizing the undiscounted cash flows computed in the first step of the test.
